Bigg(er) Brakes...
This issue has been a dilemma for quite some time, nothing is
readily available and the solid rotor is too wimpy for the kind of
spirited driving that many like to do. Well, I have a simple
and cost effective solution, and it all started with a trip to a
wrecking yard.

The whole assembly:
Toyota Caliper, Hub, Strut & Dust Shield and aftermarket
Drilled/Slotted Rotor & Performance Friction Pads. |
 |
The Backing Plate from
the Corona would probably work, but I chose the one that came
with the Caliper because of the 'scoop' seen here, ducting air
towards the center of the Hub/Rotor.

The tolerances are
close, I would like another couple mm on the Rotor, but it's
258mm... plenty big.
|
 |
As you can see, the
Caliper bolts directly to the Strut Housing. One modification: I
am making spacers out of 3/16" aluminum. You can use a couple
washers, but I'm using my hole saw and making a 3/16" washer to
evenly space the caliper on the Rotor. |
